Waking up with ear pain similar to an ear infection, when sleeping on that side. it goes away after sleeping on other side. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be TMJ?: See your doctor. This could be an ear issue, or more likely, perhaps a joint issue at the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) which is right in front of the year. This joint can hurt at nighttime for several reasons including teeth grinding, clenching, or occlusion issues.
